HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — A leading Republican voice on national security matters said Saturday he doesn’t care what President-elect Donald Trump says, the United States will not reinstate waterboarding.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said at the Halifax International Security Forum that any attempt to bring back harsh interrogation techniques such as waterboarding, which simulates drowning, would quickly be challenged in court.
“I don’t give a damn what the president of the United States wants to do or anybody else wants to do. We will not waterboard. We will not do it,” McCain said to applause during a panel discussion.

McCain can cry me a river. I don’t know what he went through but as I recall he wasn’t a terrorist. These Muslim fanatics act like animals because they are brainwashed by their culture of hate,!usually from a very early age, sometimes forced to do unspeakable things even as children.
All McCain does is increase America’s chances of being bombed. And why doeshe do it. Either it’s because he’s looney, the Vietcong brainwashing stuck or he’s just plain power-hungry.
Am I not speaking the truth?
“Was McCain ever waterboarded?”
The Navy pilots that came back from Viet Nam developed the Navy’s SERE school and the CIA’s waterboard program.
I was there in the early years and it was serious.
McCain would have no problem waterboarding an American Sailor.
“It’s not torture.”
You’re still making that ignorant claim. You have no idea what you are talking about.
It’s not torture.
Waterboarding is Not torture.
I am okay with it so long as they replace water boarding with loud and repeated broadcasts of the soundtrack from Hamilton. I sampled it today and it is horrible. I’ll hand it to the racist producers and actors, they came up with a clever gimmick. But if had opened with an all white cast it would have closed within a week.
Brought to you by the great state of Arizona. Again, and again, and again
Please someone commit this mentally challenged lunatic.
Not up to you McQueeg.
Obviously, McCain’s depends were too tight that day or he mistakenly put them on backwards.
“Waterboarding is Not torture.”
And, you know this because you have been waterboarded Khmer Rouge style?
Or, perhaps it’s because a person who has waterboarded somebody says it’s not?
Do you know why you believe this?
He does need to be thrown against one of those Velcro walls and left there for awhile.
waterboarding was actually used on our own special forces in their training....is it severe, yes, is it torture....think about ripping off fingernails, think about propane torches on your ...........
[A leading Republican voice on national security matters said Saturday]
In matters of destroying national security.
I see McCain is being a obedient little infidel for his Saudi paymasters. The fight for America is just beginning.
How did McQueeg get re-elected? How is it that the senile old fop has been in office for 20 years? Are the people of AZ really all THAT stupid? I wouldn’t think so, but why is the Grape NUT Flake, still in office?
I don’t think you’re correct on that one; I’ve heard a claim from another former “guest” at the Hilton that McCain would return from interrogations so badly mangled he “couldn’t even wipe his own ass”.
He didn’t end up on the morally, ethically and legally correct side of the issue?
“Keating 5” McCain- craziest and oldest reptile in the swamp. Drain his puddle first.
